Despite the opportunity to establish themselves as powerful aristocrats, America's Founding Fathers rejected gentries and instilled the infant nation with republican principles. However, the recent Live 8 concert in Philadelphia, mere blocks from the site of the signing of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, demonstrates that an American aristocracy actually exists today. In lieu of an American Habsburg, Valois or Windsor, the names Spears, Cruise and Lopez, along with the entire class of American celebrities, embody the modern nobility, whose presence influences our entire society.
President Wright is responsible for changing our campus' thoughts, opinions and actions regarding issues that affect our personal lives. To most of us, this statement sounds absolutely ludicrous. I don't know about you, but I don't want the Dartmouth administration telling me how to think, feel or act about a certain issue. Chris Bertrand, Student Assembly's summer president, however, does.

I agree with Brent Clayton's assertion that "the men of Dartmouth are gone" ("Why No One Rages Anymore," July 12). Like Clayton, I don't very much care for this "new population of males either." Some of them are just too effeminate for my tastes. Where are all the masculine men?
A federal judge's decision to jail New York Times investigative reporter Judith Miller has emerged as an issue of considerable controversy over the past week. Syndicated columnist Robert Novak revealed the identity of undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame in an article written two years ago to the day. In an effort to uncover and prosecute the source or sources who made public Ms. Plame's position, special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald asked that Ms. Miller and Time magazine's Matthew Cooper testify before a grand jury. Both refused in the face of certain incarceration, citing the First Amendment as their rationale. Mr. Cooper reversed his stance after receiving permission from a confidential source to do so. Ms. Miller was not so fortunate.

Addressed to the College in care of the now-obsolete Dartmouth Museum, an alumnus from the Class of 1942 donated a priceless and intriguing collection of busts, skins and fully-stuffed bodies of twenty-four wild animals.
Dartmouth students represent a significant market for local merchants, from boutiques to restaurants to convenience stores. As the majority of matriculated students are currently spending their summers in locations outside the Upper Valley, Hanover enterprises experience unique business patterns and find themselves alternatively capitalizing on the influx of vacationers.
Hoping to stay one step ahead of hackers and other threats to its computer network, the College's Computing Services department is investing millions of dollars in new security mechanisms to combat increased vulnerability.
While most Dartmouth students may spend this Friday evening like any other, a group of 100 enthusiasts will pull an all-nighter at the Top of the Hop in anticipation of the release of J.K. Rowling's latest sensation, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."
I was skeptical about the Japanese horror film remake "Dark Water" even before the opening credits rolled. The trailers I had seen featured torrential downpours of murky water and Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly wading through dark pools in abandoned apartments. I was cynical about the horrors that copious amounts of water could instill in any audience but was willing to give director Walter Salles, known for directing the beautiful film "The Motorcycle Diaries," a chance.
